Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 221 You Are Welcome

Christopher needed to catch a plane in the early morning of the next day.

Although Yuliana didn’t sleep well last night and could hardly open her eyes, she woke up as soon as the person

beside her moved.

Yuliana watched him lift the quilt to get out of bed and asked sleepily, “Are you leaving?”

Her voice was muffled with grogginess.

Hearing the sound, Christopher stopped and looked at her. In order not to wake Yuliana up, he didn’t turn on the

lights and tried to be as gentle as possible, but he didn’t expect her to wake up anyway.

Christopher leaned down and kissed her on the forehead and lips, saying, “My plane is at half past eight.”

Yuliana rubbed her eyes and asked, “What time is it?”

“Six-thirty,” replied Christopher.

Yuliana counted the time. It was time for Christopher to get up and get ready for the flight. She thought for a while

and moved to sit up from the bed, saying, “I want to send you to the airport.”

Christopher said, “You don’t have to. Go back to sleep.”

They didn’t sleep until one or two o’clock in the morning last night. They had only slept for about five hours at

most.

Yuliana opened her eyes and looked at him silently. Her eyes filled with emotions, as she was reluctant to part with

him.

This time, it would take at least half a month for them to meet again after Christopher went to Romdale.

Christopher had been busy with Zachary’s affairs during this period and had no time to deal with other matters.

There was a lot of stuff awaiting him at Romdale for him to settle with. Besides, everyone had just resumed work

after the new year. He was going to be buried with piles of work.

Yuliana was not an emotional and pretentious person, nor was she a clingy girl. She would be fine under Hailey’s

care.

It was just that she had been used to having someone with her. She felt a little upset when that person suddenly

left.

The feeling got stronger when that person was Christopher.

She was filled with a sense of loss, especially when she thought that they probably wouldn’t spend too much time

together until the baby was born. She still hoped that she could go through this big moment of her life together with

Christopher.

Seeing that Yuliana was silent, Christopher asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yuliana came back to her senses and shook her head gently. “It’s okay. Be careful. Send me a message when you

arrive at Romdale.”

Christopher hummed a response and looked down at her lips. He pinched her chin with his fingers, lowered his

head, and covered her lips with his, kissing her amorously.

Two minutes later, Christopher let go of her and said, “When Romdale’s business is over, I’ll come back to see you

and the baby.”

Yuliana lowered her eyes and felt that the disappointment had dissipated. She said with a smile, “I’ll visit Mom and

Dad at the Solace residence on weekends. Don’t worry.”

Christopher smiled and rubbed her nose. “Thank you, Ana.”

Yuliana said with a sweet smile, “You’re welcome.”

Christopher had packed his luggage when he moved here from Oceanview Apartment yesterday. He left soon after

washing up.

The room soon fell into silence. Although Yuliana was still drowsy, she couldn’t fall asleep.

The heating in the room was off. When Christopher was around, she didn’t feel cold at all, but as soon as he left,

the empty space next to her seemed to feel cold immediately. Yuliana curled up her feet and looked blankly into the

air. For the first time, she felt that long-distance love was so unbearable.

However, this emotion didn’t persist for long. The chaos after the new semester started soon drowned everything.

On the first day of school, Yuliana arrived at school at half past seven.

The first class started at 8:30 a.m. It was still early, and the students hadn’t arrived yet.

When Yuliana arrived at the office, only Ariel, her colleague from the same office, had arrived. The latter’s eyes fell

on her abdomen the moment she saw Yuliana.

In the third trimester of pregnancy, the baby grew very fast. Besides, Yuliana had a good rest and sated her

appetite during the New Year. Not only did she increase in weight by a few pounds, but her belly also bulged up to a

noticeable bump. Everyone could tell that she was pregnant at first sight.

Yuliana greeted Ariel, then went to get a basin of water and took a towel to wipe the table. After that, she helped

Fiona wipe the table too. In the process, Ariel’s eyes never left her belly.

Not long after, Lexie arrived at the office too. She was chatting happily with Ariel. She had prepared New Year’s

gifts for her colleagues. One was for Ariel and the other one was on Fiona’s table.

Lexie glanced at Yuliana from the corner of her eye and raised her voice as she said to Ariel, “Ariel, I purposely

asked someone to bring this box of chocolates from abroad. It tastes totally different from those sold in the country.

This box costs at least 150 dollars. Go on and try it. If it tastes delicious, I’ll ask someone to bring you more next

time.”

In the past, Lexie merely acted sarcastically around Yuliana, but their relationship didn’t turn sour completely.

However, ever since the incident with Wade last semester, Lexie had completely fallen out with Yuliana. Right then,

Yuliana was sitting in her seat, sorting out the things on her desk and organizing the drawer. After packing up, she

took the basin and was ready to get some water.

When she got up, Lexie saw her belly and immediately stepped forward to block her. She smiled and said, “Ms.

Livingstone, you’re pregnant!”

Ariel, who was packing up, stopped when she saw this.

Yuliana looked at her and nodded. “Yes, I’m pregnant.”

Lexie looked at her belly and said, “You look like you have been pregnant for five or six months. Does that mean

you got pregnant when the first semester started? I sensed that something was off with your belly and wondered if

you were pregnant at that time. I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Lexie met Yuliana’s eyes. She folded her arms across her chest and chided, “Ms. Livingstone, you’re really good at

hiding the news!” Yuliana smiled and said, “Ms. Anderson, my pregnancy is my own business. It has nothing to do

with you. Do I have any obligation to tell you?”

Lexie was struck mute by Yuliana’s words. After a while, she snorted and said, “I am merely concerned about you,

Ms. Livingstone. Is the father the blond-haired man? Ms. Livingstone, I hope you don’t mind me giving you a

reminder. Based on my judgment, your boyfriend is not a good man and can’t be relied on.”

She paused as if she suddenly remembered something and said, “By the way, did you register for the marriage

license? I hope you are not pregnant out of wedlock.”

Yuliana sometimes found Lexie hilarious. The latter was so concerned about other people’s affairs. Yuliana smiled

and displayed the wedding ring on her finger, saying, “We’ve gotten the marriage license, but we haven’t had a

wedding yet. Ms. Anderson, I’ll definitely invite you to our wedding”

As Lexie saw the ring on Yuliana’s hand, her expression changed again.

Yuliana ignored her, bypassed her, and left the office.

When she came back, Fiona had already arrived. She kept winking and gesturing at her to look at Lexie and Ariel.

They must have talked a lot behind her when she went to pour water.

Yuliana smiled at Fiona, but she didn’t take the matter to heart.

The news of her pregnancy soon spread in the school, sending a shockwave through the community.

However, Yuliana didn’t take it seriously. The storm was over in a few days.

The first week of school ended in chaos. On Saturday. Yuliana rested at home. On Sunday, she went to the Solace

residence with Hailey to visit Zachary and Winnie.

Annabelle was also in the Solace residence when Yuliana arrived.
